Arctic Beverages now shipping from CentrePort

Arctic Beverages’ new location at 2-107 Mount View Road in the RM of Rosser within CentrePort Canada offers plenty of storage space for the food products the company distributes to communities in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, northwestern Ontario and Nunavut.

Hey there, time traveller! This article was published 22/12/2014 (1993 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

Ease of access to highways and the potential for increased rail shipments are two factors that prompted Arctic Beverages to relocate from 1155 Sherwin Rd. in Winnipeg to CentrePort Canada’s Brookside Business Park in the RM of Rosser.

"We cover approximately 21 per cent of Canada geographically," said CEO Sean Post.

The company began as a Pepsi franchise and now distributes products made by other large food and beverage manufacturers, such as Frito Lay, Nestlé and Parmalat, to northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, northwestern Ontario and Nunavut.

Post said the new 20,000-square-foot warehouse, at Unit 2-107 Mountain View Road, will serve as a consolidation centre at which products are delivered and stored before being shipped out.

Although the new warehouse is actually smaller than the company’s previous location in terms of square footage, Post said, its additional height allows for higher stacking and is more efficient.
